Not really sure but it was stil intact when I oiled the gun before I packed it up Saturday night to go to Batangas. Haven't opened up the slide yet, don't know how e. Will bring it to a gunsmith later. You can clearly see that the firing pin isn't there anymore. Didn't notice it when I uncased my gun at the safety area. Tanga ko rin.

Thanks for posting Judge. Phone line's back in service now.

Will see if I can meet up with him within the day and get some pics. Sayang yung match nya kahapon... first stage, first target board the pistol went a deafening CLICK!

Thanks BoGs. Allegra, can't find any original ones around here. It breaks easily pala talaga. I'll be bringing the gun to Metrillo this afternoon. I'll see if he can fabricate one for me.

Alexii, Mc_O, I dry fire around 1-2hrs a day with a dummy round. Only problem is I noticed just last Thursday na malalim na yung kain ng firing pin sa dummy so maybe it was no longer protecting the firing pin. That's my third dummy I wore out in as many months. Guess I have to keep some new ones as spares. ;f

I'll take some pics when he takes the slide apart, check narin if anything else broke.

Thanks for all your support guys. Tigra, judge, thanks for trying to find ways for me to continue the match yesterday. :)

Make sure to order some extras, so that you'll have spares to bring during matches, lalo na doon sa malalayong range. :)

Batangueño, had 2 replacement FPs made and I'll have a couple more made by Tony Pascual. Guess I have a some more spares handy in my bag in the future (including all the other replaceables). Another hard lesson learned by a newbie. :)

Think Judge will be posting the pic of the firing pin anytime soon. It broke in three places. The portion that hits the primer is gone so all you'll see is the body and the base of the firing pin. Thanks again BoGs. ;f

Tom,

Lagyan mo ng filter nang yosi between the hammer and firing pin. Works better than any dummy round!

Called PBD yesterday and they don't have any in stock. Had a couple made for me nalang locally.

Thanks for all the advice. :)

How does the rear broken piece translate into the FP operation? Is this the point where it contacts the FP safety?

I'm not exactly sure but I think the space in between is where the FP block holds it in place. We suspect the rear piece broke off long before the front end and was just kept in place by the hole it fits to in the slide.

Doc EC, thanks for posting the prices. Contacted my sister in the states so she could order the stuff and bring them back with her next month. Think kunin ko narin yung hammer spring para gumaan ng konti yung pull as Alexii advised.

I was experimenting the other day with SMB using the leather strips na nakapalaman between the hammer & firing pin; and inserted a pencil inside the barrel. Pulled the trigger and the pencil flew from the barrel; so the firing pin is still banging away.

Try ko nga mamaya with a live round sa range and see if it will go BANG! ;f

Think I'll go with the D hammer spring and the heavy guide rod first. Broke my trigger spring a couple of months ago and had replacements made. Working fine now. Hope I can get the other parts to fit in my budget. Thanks man. :cool:

Hmmmm...my crystal ball is still foggy. But I think we have a homogenizer-in-the-making. ;f

Guys, thanks for all your help. My Beretta's working fine now with a fabricated firing pin care of Metrillo. Had a spare made and planning to have another made by Tony Pascual, also ordered from Langdon for comparison purposes.

Back to dry firing but now I'm using the same leather strips used by judge with a piece of rubber matting in between the 2 strips to further cushion the blow and a dummy bullet to boot. Sana naman di ko na masira kaagad. ;f

i suppose the leather strips and cigarette butts do serve a purpose, but on my pistol, i basically just dry fire anytime i please, (after making sure the chamber is empty of course) and in the course of a day i can easily dry fire it 30 to 40 times.

and this is without any padding.

so far so good, pin is still good, no signs of cracks on the fp stop, i guess chinese steel can really take a beating.

The firing pin made by Metrillo was made out of an engine valve, correct? How is the unit's weight compared to the original? How much were you charged? Pardon the barrage of questions.;)

Wasn't able to compare anything and ask much questions regarding the replacement FP. Got it just before closing Sat night and the guy and I were both in a rush. Had it fitted right away cause the portion that struck the hammer was missing if you rememember. Will get the original and the spare replacement tom so will compare them then. It cost me P800. I'll update you on the info. :)

Zorkd,

Hope Filipino steel is as tough as the Chinese ones. ;f

9mx, Valor1,

Thanks for the advice. Guess I'll stick to these 2 FPs from Met. ;)

hi judge,

how's your little experiment? did it go bang or click!?

I can replace the firing pin or any internals for you no charge. I will TRY to bring some Beretta firing pins in January probably some springs too.

sir jerry,

is it ok if i invite a friend? he is not bogs but he is a cop like you who uses his beretta at IPSC matches. recently, he broke a spring (not sure which one) while dry firing. being on the job like you, i'm sure he would find it useful:)
